Everything was working fine and turned on the system today but it won't connect. It reads "Searching for renderers." I went ahead and updated to 1.40 but still no luck. I have my PS3 to my Mac Pro (Version 10.6.8) connected via Ethernet not wi-fi. I'm forcing the IP on the server in PMS due to having a few laptops here. So I'm using 10.0.1.3. I have no firewall on either. Java is updated as I've checked software update on my mac and all is installed. Any idea anyone can give to see what the issue might be?Here is the trace log:

Hey Flaxion,I totally overlooked something. For some reason the ip of my system changed and since I use force IP it must match this. I was looking at the log and it seems you might have the same issue. If you are using a router make sure you have the same ip address you are entering in the main panel of PMS. Go to your Settings-Network and under Ethernet look at the ip address. If you are on router with hard patched into the ps3 it should be something like 10.0.1.2 or whatever you have. Now add that into the force ip of our PMS under General Configuration, Save it. Quick the PMS and turn on your ps3, launch it again and it should recognize it. I hope that works out for you.

I went to use my ps3 this morning, and found that it would not recognize my computer. Either the wmp or the ps3 media server would not show up on the ps3. I tried various ideas i had read on the internet, ie: new rules with the fire wall, and forcing my ip etc.. bu t none of it worked. The thing that eventually worked was to just turn off my computer, the ps3 and my wireless router. And ta da it worked. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Hope this helps
